Annie's Cottage is a quiet little studio cottage with a view onto the inside of a very typical…read moreRussian Hill block, in a classic Edwardian house. The location is fantastic, it's pretty reasonably priced, and it's quite comfortable. The bed is a four-poster queen, and there were rather a lot of pillows. There's also a table at which two can sit, a love seat, and some other quaint furniture, as well as a kitchen sink, refrigerator and microwave. The room was clean and neat, with no untoward smells. There was quite a bit of Verbena-scented soap in the bathroom. The decor is pretty standard Victorian San Francisco, with wainscoting and a lovely big shower/tub in the bathroom. There's WiFi, with a pretty decently fast connection. There's a porch to sit on, facing the backyard. There's no breakfast service, but there's coffee and tea, and a toaster. I tend to be a pretty shy guest at B&B's, and Annie's was ideal for me in this sense - she left me alone, other than settling up the bill, and she didn't even hassle me about that - we just figured out a time. There are some excellent restaurants near here on Hyde - Za, Frascati, Tre Fratelli, Milano and U-Lee come to mind. Polk is the big local business district, and there are quite a few more restaurants down there. Parking here is no fun. But on the plus side, you can take the cable car, which runs along Hyde Street. If you need to walk down to Polk Street, be aware that the most direct path down the hill is pretty steep. If your knees are weak, you might want to hang a left on Hyde, and follow it down to Broadway, then continue downhill on Broadway to Polk.

However... as of 2026, I don't even know if it's open for business anymore. The website is dead, and people are saying they can't even get a hold of anyone. The building was sold in January and the business status is murky. All I know is, Marty and Connie were the beating heart and soul of this establishment. Unfortunately, people do age and eventually pass. I don't think that either of them has passed, but from what I heard, there was a sudden medical issue and they're not coming back. I hope that the new ownership can get it together and bring back this amazing place to continue as a gem of a place to stay in SF, but... not holding my breath. :-(

I like this hotel. The first time we stayed here, we had a…read moreroom with a king sized bed with the view of the bay bridge. All was good. This time, we booked a room with a queen bed. But when it was time to sleep, the bed felt really small. It was a tight squeeze. In the morning, I asked the person what sized bed we had in that room. She said it was a queen. When I asked if she's sure because it felt small, she said that hotel queen beds are smaller than residential queen beds. Is that true? Can someone not from the hotel business tell me if that's true? But anyways, we will not be staying here again. Next booking will be close to the touristy Pier39! Thank you!

The room was cute and comfy! The shared bathroom down the hall was also always free and vacant whenever we needed it. Since I was only here for one night I didn't mind it, but if more than one night maybe a shared bathroom might be a little inconvenient instead of having one available in your room. However the experience was great and it made it feel like staying in a home rather than a hotel; which is the charm of a b&b. Their cat skittles is so cute and friendly! Definitely recommend going to the parlor to hang out by the fire, get tea, coffee, or hot chocolate and spend time with skittles

We stayed for one night this month, after the Spiritbox show at the nearby (two blocks, uphill) Masonic. Our room was spacious, with a queen bed far more comfortable than most hotels I've stayed at, closet with robes (that was a first for me), fireplace, tv, chairs, coffee table, and desk. I liked the bathroom and shower. Better water pressure than I get at home, go figure. I even tried the pump shampoo and body wash attached to the wall because the smelled so yummy, and found them to be good quality too. Usually I don't really mess with complimentary toiletries because I have sensitive skin and a whole routine for my curls, but I took a risk and it paid off. Ambiance was everything. It felt like a Bed & Breakfast in the Scottish Highlands. Furniture well-loved, clean but cozy as opposed to sterile, old-fashioned fixtures, funky pink and teal hexagonal carpet that looked like tile at first glance, wall clocks, floral wallpaper, embroidery...all the little bits and bobs made me feel right at home. Our experiences with the staff here were lovely, and there were no issues during our stay at all. We found the hotel quiet, and the walls and windows well-suited to block out the city noises. The only thing I would have liked to have would be a screen on the window by the bed so I could enjoy the nice cold San Francisco air without worrying about nasty bugs flying in. I really loved staying here, and as I said, I would absolutely come back if I could afford it. They offer complimentary breakfast, but I only had a coffee and maple donut brought to me by my love, so cannot comment on the items offered or the breakfast nook downstairs. Be sure to try the cool retro elevator with metal screen. You have to press the button for a few 1000s and wait patiently for it to arrive, but arrive it will. I was def not pretending I was on the Titanic. They have valet parking available, but as we left the car at a Bart station outside the city to save us the $ and hassle, can't comment on the price of that either. It is a pretty straight shot walking from here to the Powell Bart station, downhill. On the way here from the Bart I would recommend a bus or the cable car ($8 one way) uphill if you don't want to go all the way uphill.

This was my first time staying at The Inn, and it was a complete nightmare. After checkout, I was…read moreshocked to see a $50 charge on my card for a "missing umbrella". Something that was never in the room, that I did not take, and that was completely unnecessary on a sunny day. I spoke with multiple staff members, but each gave me the runaround. I asked to speak with a manager, but management was completely unreachable. The hotel's handling of this charge was completely unacceptable. They have no system for resolving disputes, and guests are left running in circles for something that isn't even their fault. Be very cautious if you stay here. Unexpected charges can appear on your bill with no way to resolve it. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We were very pleasantly surprised by our stay here…read more It's extremely conveniently located near the Ferry Building and the bay just across the street. And yet despite that, the prices here are some of the most affordable in the city. Great service too for a smaller boutique hotel. I was shocked at how they get artisanal quality pastries every morning that are complimentary for guests (these aren't your typical bulk pastries for continental breakfast). They also have filtered water machines and YMCA passes for workouts. The only drawbacks are the rooms, which are a bit small and can get warm in the evenings, but have everything you need, and a decent sized shower. Would definitely stay here again the next time I need to be near the Embarcadero!

Loved the free water so you didn't have to worry about buying water bottles. Room was small but to the point. It was also cleaner than I thought it was going to be! The only complain I have is the minimal air flow in it and the lack of air conditioning. You can only turn it down a couple degrees so I did wake up in the middle of the night/morning hot. But again, for a cheaper option this place was good! Will definitely come back here for the next game.

The only free parking is on Sundays until 9 AM the following day. I was lucky to find parking very close. I arrived a few hours before check-in so I called. The lady was kind enough to contact the housekeeper to request my room be cleaned next. Within an hour I had a text telling me the room was ready. It was easy to get in using the provided key code. The interior is inviting, clean without feeling sterile. There is a communal living room with seats and a kitchen with bottled water, Keurig, and a kettle for tea. They have many tea varieties, cutlery, and such. The room was compact with my own toilet, shower and a sink. This is noted, because a foreign couple I met used my phone to call the manager as their toilet was located elsewhere, down the hallway. I was comforted after several days of travel to be in a bed that felt good to lay in, the pillows were the almost buoyant. The sheets and blankets were the perfect weight. I do not remember appreciating a bed as much as this in my 40 years of travel. It's located in an ideal location close to my favorite focaccia bakery, Liguria Bakery. It's walking distance to the Piers or you can catch the streetcar which has a stop on the other side of Washington Inn. There is an exquisite patisserie around the corner, where I sat outdoors, drinking my latte and watching the people walk by. I highly recommend Washington Square inn.

The hotel is in a great location, but there were issues with our stay…read more The digital key system was adequate, but not totally easy to understand how to get it to work. It took us awhile to get into the hotel the day we checked in. We were in room 2. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. But two major things were problematic: 1) We could never turn off the floor heater in the room, so the room got to, and stayed uncomfortably warm the whole night we were there. The heater didn't seem to have an off button, only a low or higher heat setting. 2) My wife took a shower in, and the water did not drain at all. The lever to allow drainage was in the right setting, but the tub filled up with water by the end of the shower. Using a toilet plunger to plunge it is unsanitary. The housekeepers, I assume, must have to plunge this shower often, but at least they have the cleaning equipment to clean the shower after doing this. Luckily, we were only in the room one night, and could leave after using the shower only once. All of this of course is exacerbated because there is no staff on sight after the housekeepers are finished by late afternoon. The no hotel clerk, and no staff on site model may be efficient in some areas, but it doesn't lend to taking care of problems in an efficient way. Our room had two major problems, that I assume had been there for awhile, and obviously had not been addressed for at all. I hope your hotel can take care of guests better in the future. Thank you.

The entire staff from the doorman, the front desk, housekeeping, and anyone we encountered was polite, professional, and warm. The hotel is charming with lots of beautiful architecture. We learned it used to be a bank. The Omni was spotless and located in a safe area. The Omni is a short walk to Chinatown and a 15-20 minute walk to North Beach where you can dine on some excellent fine Italian food. If you want to get crazy, which we did, it was about a 25-30 minute walk to Fisherman's Wharf. Remember the hills! Our room was clean, well stocked by housekeeping, and everything worked to perfection. If you want a microwave or a refrigerator, that would be an extra charge. There is a cozy bar if you want to decompress after work or a long day of touring around. The Omni was not cheap but worth every penny of it. Again, the entire staff was absolutely fantastic, friendly, and happy. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Just before midnight we insisted on being moved to another room which resulted in a downgrade from the room we were in. This was a last-resort decision for us and of course, a major hassle. I asked for a courtesy discount and was told I'd be contacted by a manager. That didn't happen. This hotel is MUCH larger than how it's represented on their website. The rooms are nice, but not at the level of the (very high) room price ($685/nt). It's obviously located in a family-friendly tourist zone, so there is a lot of hustle and bustle in the public areas of the hotel, and unfortunately you can't count on peace and quiet on the guest floors. I can't understand why anyone would pay this price for such a "throw the dice" experience. Never again. We stayed here because we were heading up to Sonoma the following morning and wanted easy access to the GGB. And it felt novel to spend one night on the wharf. We were lucky to have flawless weather and Maritime Park (plus views) was spectacular the next morning. And a stroll around the neighborhood offered an entirely different perspective on the SF I know. Lots of cute little breakfast places nearby too. Most people know this, but in case you don't, Fisherman's Wharf has a Bourbon Street vibe, and that's great if that's your thing.
